Get Kata by Kevlin Henney
Programmers use coding katas to kick the tyres of their programming languages, paradigms and practices. Typically anchored in a TDD cycle, katas are simple problems that give programmers the opportunity to exercise deliberate practice and explore different approaches, whether programming style, pair programming or test-first programming.

But the simplicity can be deceptive, with many programmers tiring of these katas too soon, missing out on some of the more mind-bending and paradigm-expanding opportunities on offer.

This session will pick on a couple of katas and dig deeper into TDD, lambdas, language(s), (dys)functional programming and Alcubierre drive. It will present code in a variety of languages, highlight the weaknesses of some common mantras, play around with ideas - and blend code, humour and general nerdiness to be both an enjoyable and educational session.

Speaker: Kevlin Henney

Kevlin is an independent consultant, speaker, writer and trainer. His development interests are in patterns, programming, practice and process. He has been a columnist for a number of magazines and sites (including The Register) and has been on far too many committees (it has been said that "a committee is a cul-de-sac down which ideas are lured and then quietly strangled"). He is co-author of two volumes in the Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture series and editor of 97 Things Every Programmer Should Know.

Are you a machine learning practitioner looking to share, learn, and discuss with your peers, or simply just curious to learn what this space has to offer?

Ever wondered how neural networks actually work? In this session we'll go over an intuitive example of a feedforward neural network and backpropagation using nothing more than numpy!

The Stockholm Machine Learning Club is a platform to share and grow knowledge and expertise in machine learning and AI in general. The goal is to bring people together to learn, discuss, hack, and most importantly have fun with machine learning. We aim to host weekly or biweekly study groups in a seminar/hackathon fashion to discuss and replicate research articles and other projects on a wide range of topics including deep learning, reinforcement learning, and quantum machine learning. The club is open to everyone regardless of level of expertise, however, as we do go into some depth, some programming ability and familiarity with core ML concepts are recommended.

This meetup is for all cybersecurity enthusiasts in Stockholm.

If cybersecurity is your work, studies or just a passion (or all of the above), join our meetups to exchange ideas, build networks, organize seminars, training and explore opportunities to collaborate together.

An interactive talk about what our roles as humans are when it comes to developing, operating and evolving new Artificial Intelligence systems. How can we ensure that our own biases are not inputted into the systems? How can we use Artificial Intelligence to augment our own intelligence in order to create better services in the future?

Daniel Sjöström works as a creative technologist at Daresay, he has a broad knowledge base in many different fields within computer science. Everything from front end to back end development and UX research. During his Master thesis project at Umeå University he got to dig deeper into AI and Machine learning, his thesis was later acknowledged by SVT. Since then, Daniel has held many talks, presentations and workshops in the topic of AI.

Daniel Rönnlund is an experienced, visionary and social consultant at Daresay with expertise in the field of Service Design, UX Design and interaction design. He has a strong interest in exponential technologies like AI, and more specific how they can be designed and used to improve society by empowering individuals and organisations.

Are you a machine learning practitioner looking to share, learn, and discuss with your peers, or simply just curious to learn what this space has to offer?

If so, we'd like to welcome you to the Stockholm Machine Learning Club. The event will be kindly hosted by Foo Cafe and follow a seminar-style study group format.

http://www.foocafe.org/stockholm/events/2245-machine-learning-study-groupJava Beginners
We are some people that recently started taking the beginners class Introductory course in Java at LTU as distance learning. Learning is better and definetely more fun with friends. That is the reason why we will meet up during this semester to begin our Java journey together. Some of us will be working with the exercises provided by this particular course but we will explore all different opportunities within the language. Most of us use Eclipse IDE but you can join with any IDE. Are you doing e-learning but want company? Bring your own work and we will code together starting from the very beginning. Join us for some relaxed study time with coffee and company!

If you have any questions feel free to contact me! Remember to bring your own laptop too :)

We're back! After almost a year of hibernation Mulsoft Meetup Group Stockholm is back. We kick off our reboot with a session on API policies; what they are, when and how to use them and a special use-case from the trenches. Anyone is welcome to join, Mulsoft knowledge is a plus but not a prerequisite to attend.

Speaker: Ana Chiritescu

Agenda:

6:00 Introduction

18:15 API Policies by Ana Chiritescu

19:00 Break

19:30 Open discussion - API Policies and topic for next meetup

20:15 Happy hour

Welcome!
